Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said Okafor was no longer part of the team's rotation and his spot with the second unit had been taken over by Amir Johnson.

"I'm playing Amir (Johnson) ahead of him and that's just the situation," Brown told reporters Friday. "[Okafor] doesn't let people know. He comes in and his head's good and his spirit's good. And he and I talk all the time, but that is the bottom line. He is not in the rotation."

Okafor said in an interview with SB Nation prior to the season he was questioning whether he was, "part of this team."

"I'm unsure if I'm still on the team," Okafor said. "Am I really a part of this process? Am I really a part of this culture? That's why the guys have been out there on social media, but I've just kind of been in the dark."

The Sixers tried to trade Okafor prior to the deadline during the 2016-17 season, but found no takers. Okafor has played in one game this year, tallying 10 points and nine rebounds in 22 minutes on the floor.

He has not played a minute in any of the other four games for the 76ers, who are currently 1-4.
